Matthew Valauri (Partner-Stamford, CT) and Beata Shapiro (Partner-Boston, MA) obtained summary judgment in Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of New Haven for the firm’s transportation and logistics company client in an underinsured motorist (UIM) claim. The plaintiff, an employee of our client, was injured while driving a tractor trailer when a third-party vehicle cut him off on the highway, causing the tractor to roll over. The plaintiff recovered more than $100,000 between the third party’s insurance and workers’ compensation benefits. The plaintiff then sued our self-insured client under its UIM-coverage. Matthew and Beata successfully argued that that the plaintiff recovered money from the third party’s insurer and workers’ compensation in sums greater than the limits of available UIM coverage; therefore, the court ruled in the client’s favor that the plaintiff was not entitled to further recoveries from the firm’s client.
